Chapter 1675: The abbot passed away and was forced to take over
At the same time, Kong Mofeng suddenly came out of the queue, bowed deeply to the Peacock Princess, and was the first to express his attitude:
"Congratulations to the Peacock King for succeeding to the throne. From now on, Mr. and Mrs. Kong will fully assist and swear loyalty to protect our Gunzhou Monster Clan from generation to generation!"
Seeing this situation, the Linghu King could not help but curl his lips, and could only express his stance reluctantly, giving up the intention of competing on the spot.
"I, the Spirit Fox Clan, have no objection. From now on, I will ask my good niece to take care of her!"
Seeing the two most powerful demons expressing their opinions one after another, many other high-level elders did not dare to hesitate, including some with ulterior motives, so they could only bow respectfully and swear allegiance.
Seeing this situation, the Peacock King immediately softened his expression and nodded with relief. Then he raised his hand and offered up a beautiful seal. He canceled the method of identifying the owner on the spot and handed it to the Peacock Princess who was at a loss.
"Silly girl, this is the demon king's treasure seal. You can refine it now. From now on, the fate of my peacock clan will be entirely in your hands. Don't let down the hard work of your ancestors...!"
The Peacock Princess couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw this. The grief of life and death made her unable to restrain herself, and in the end she had no choice but to accept the order solemnly:
"Father, don't worry, Xuan'er will live up to his high expectations!"
Having said that, with everyone watching, Kong Xuan raised his hand to draw blood essence and began to refine the Demon King's Seal, which symbolized his identity, in public.
The Peacock King on the side finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his aura quickly fell to the bottom, and then slowly closed his heavy eyes, completely ending the magnificent career of the Demon King.
But at the last moment, a weak and guilty voice quietly sounded in Princess Peacock’s ears:
"Silly girl, don't blame your father for being cruel. From the moment you accept the throne of the Demon King, you must ensure that your bloodline is pure. From now on, you can no longer be greedy for the personal affairs of your children. Remember...!"
After hearing this, the Peacock Princess closed her eyes tightly, and a line of tears could not help but flow from the corner of her eyes, but she was instantly shattered by the demon element, and then she nodded slightly to express her agreement.
Because of this result, she had already expected it.
It should be noted that there is no perfect solution in this world.
Now that she has become the queen of the demon clan, she must shed her tears and cut off her love!
For the future of her tribe, she can only accept her fate!
............
Not long after, there was a terrifying demonic aura rising into the sky from the Cloud Tower, and the power of the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure filled the sky and the earth, and a solemn shout echoed across the sky:
"I respectfully send off the demon king to his funeral, and respectfully welcome the new king to the throne. I announce that the leaders of all clans are here to meet you!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the big monsters waiting near Yunduan Tianque were shocked. Apparently they never expected that the Peacock Clan's internal movements were so fast, and they did not give the outsiders the slightest chance.
And the most puzzling thing is that one of the former overlords, King Linghu, didn't take the initiative to seize power?
No matter how you look at it, this is a bit unreasonable!
However, due to the situation, many big demons in the scene quickly reacted and quickly arranged their clothes and went inside to pay homage. Some people with evil intentions could only give up their thoughts in fear.
Since then, a chaos has been strangled in the cradle!
But greater crises are bound to follow!
And similar scenes were also staged across Kyushu.
............
Within the territory of Yanzhou.
Known as the Holy Land of Buddhism, Lingjing Mountain and deep inside the majestic Honglian Temple, many eminent Buddhist monks gathered together. Not only representatives of the twenty-eight Zen monasteries were present, but also Nanhua Shensu, who had just broken through to become a great monk. Wanyi and the fair-weather monk Huihong were also among them.
The reason for this is that when Yuncheng was defeated that day, the Buddhist forces also suffered heavy losses. Even Master Mingkong, the abbot, had his body destroyed by the demon from outside the territory. Only the body of Nascent Soul managed to escape with the help of the treasure, but due to the damage, Due to the foundation of cultivation, his short lifespan is about to be completely exhausted, and now he is about to pass away.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the entire Honglian Temple is quite heavy at the moment. All the eminent Buddhist monks present are full of grief. There are many monks in various temples chanting sutras devoutly. The Sanskrit sounds echoing on the top of Lingjing Mountain look solemn. And solemn.
In the ancient palace, the frail Nascent Soul body of Master Mingkong was suspended in front of the Buddha statue, sitting cross-legged and urgently explaining the funeral arrangements.
"Amitabha, how good it is! I don't have enough wisdom, and I haven't been able to break through the profound entrance in my whole life. I am a person who is approaching the end of his life, and now he is just a little ahead of time. You must know that everything has its own destiny, and you don't need to remember it too much... .......!"
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of mournful cries in the stadium.
Even Monk Huihong, who had been unreliable in the past, quickly put his hands together in a pretentious manner and comforted him with a pious face:
"Ahem! Amitabha, the abbot has completed his merits and is about to go to the Western Paradise. From then on, he will receive Zen teachings from the Buddha himself. This is a great opportunity...!"
Hearing this, the crowd immediately echoed in agreement.
Abbot Mingkong also nodded in relief, then sighed helplessly and whispered to Monk Huihong:
"Oh! That's all. As the saying goes, dragons cannot be leaderless. Since Kongwu is determined to return to secular life, then from now on, you will take over the position of abbot!"
After finishing speaking, Master Mingkong didn't hesitate at all, and directly sacrificed an exquisite gilt Buddha statue. He recognized the master on the spot and handed it to Huihong's hands. It was the "Golden Body of the Great Sun Tathagata", the important treasure of the Honglian Temple!
Seeing this, many eminent monks on the side also hurriedly put their hands together and saluted devoutly, shouting "Abbot".
After all, as one of the two reincarnated Buddhas, Huihong's future prospects are limitless. Breaking through the realm of great cultivation is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, in the case of Kong Wu's disappearance, it is reasonable for him to succeed as abbot, and many Buddhist monks naturally have no objection.
Only Huihong, who was the person involved, was stunned on the spot when faced with such a scene, with a little disbelief on his face.
But looking at the golden Buddha in his hand, he quickly reacted, and his original respectful and pious attitude disappeared in an instant. Instead, he pointed at the nose of the Nascent Soul and began to question:
"Hey! I say, old monk, you are not authentic? When I was wandering on the streets, you used two steamed buns to trick me into becoming a monk, didn't you say this? At the beginning, we had an agreement that when I broke through to the realm of great cultivators, I could return to secular life. Why do you let me be the abbot now?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent!
The monks who knew Huihong's character well were all silent with embarrassment on their faces.
Master Mingkong's face turned black, and he immediately scolded angrily:
"Evil creature, don't talk nonsense here. You became a monk voluntarily, and you said that you would be in Yuncheng. When Kongwu returns to secular life, you will succeed the throne. We monks don't lie.........!"
Hearing this, Monk Huihong was stunned for a moment, and his momentum weakened unconsciously, but he still argued:
"Ahem! I just said it casually, but it can't be counted. How many years have I lived? After a hundred years, he is still a virgin, looking forward to returning to secular life and experiencing the prosperity of the secular world. Now that he is almost out of the limelight, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts to become an abbot? "
"Humph! Let me stay in the temple for the rest of my life, knocking fish and chanting sutras? It would be better to die early! Anyway, there is no room for negotiation..........!"
When such a rebellious remark came out, all the monks present were shocked, and some of them could not help but scolded him. Even Su Wanyi couldn't stand it.
Only Abbot Mingkong, who was already on his deathbed, suddenly regained his composure, and then waved his hand and said devoutly:
"Forget it! In this case, special methods should be used in times of crisis. Sorry to bother you, just hold the ceremony directly!"
Hearing this, Monk Huihong was slightly stunned.
But at this moment, many monks in the field attacked together, and various magical powers of capture quickly emerged, and they rushed towards Monk Huihong and pressed him to the ground.
Then they cut their fingers, dripped blood to recognize the master, changed the cassock, and did it all in one go.
By the time Monk Huihong reacted, everything had already been decided. He could only hold the golden image and the Zen stick, and walked through the whole ceremony with tears, and was forced to sit on the abbot's seat.
There was also the kind voice of the old monk, slowly echoing in his ears:
"Amitabha, from now on, the important task of saving the world will be handed over to you. Remember to abide by the rules and regulations, otherwise you may be afraid that the golden body will backfire...!"
At this moment, Monk Huihong's face was dull!
He only felt that his future life was dark.
Not long after, Master Mingkong completed his merits and passed away. The whole Honglian Temple was in grief, but Monk Huihong cried loudly, and his heartbroken look did not seem fake!
